Question
if a ball begins to roll down an incline, its potential energy is converted into ______ energy. enter answer
Brief Explanations
When a ball rolls down an incline, its height decreases (so potential energy, which depends on height, decreases) and its speed increases. Kinetic energy depends on the speed of an object. So the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (and also some thermal energy due to friction, but the main conversion here is to kinetic energy).
